Tout Daily on DraftKings is indeed back.
That means champ Tout Wars DFS players like Todd Zola and Derek Carty, plus sneaky good ones like Lenny Melnick and Patrick Davitt, along with the Jeff Boggises of the world (Jeff is 30 points ahead of me at this point) and I get to take on one another in the Tout DFS Tourney that culminates with a survivor playoff in August.
Totals are gathered for all participants over five four-week periods, with the top three point scorers per period getting golden tickets 
to the survivor tournament where the player with the most points after three contests will be crowned champion. Additionally, the highest scoring player over all 20 weeks earns a wild-card entry to the tournament.
After a couple of weeks of play, BBHQ’s Phil Hertz has jumped into the Period 1 lead with 305.6 points, while Rick Wolf (290.75) and Clay Link (288.8) are on Phil’s tail. You can check out the leaderboard as the season progresses along with a wrap-up on ToutWars every Wednesday.
And you can see the Touts recommendations as participants suggest a pitcher and hitter every Tuesday on the Tout Wars site.
Ty Blach ($5800): The Giants game with the Nationals might seem like a goofy contest with which to look for value picks, but I am down 70 points from the lead. More to the point, the Nationals are hitting a sad .196-4-1 when facing southpaws this year, and Blach should feel cozy hurling at home.
Brandon Crawford ($2800): Crawford is off to a slow start (.215-1-2), but he is a lefty going against the right-handed Roark, and the Zen is telling me he is due. (Gad, don’t tell Lord Zola!) Crawford does have a .250-56-301 line against righties, and as a bargain pick, I was able to also roster Nolan Arenado. DJ LeMahieu, Mookie Betts, and Khris Davis, all in favorable games.
Follow me @lawrmichaels and make sure you tune into Creativesports 2.0 for baseball and golf DFS picks.
